Most HT receivers I look at these days are 9.2 or 11.2 - cfraser 13:35:57 07/03/12 (0)
I disagree with their numbering scheme, but who cares...I don't count derived channels myself. If you want more than 7 amps, typically have to supply your own.

As Chris says, it's for 2 subs. They have typically done a great job for integrating 2 subs. Usually before you had to buy an extra device to integrate two subs smoothly: it's about smooth bass throughout the listening area, not about more bass per se (and not about "stereo bass")...making the sweet spot less a spot and more an area.
They've added another sub output... - Chris Garrett 12:52:05 07/03/12 (3)
remember, LFE are omni directional and not really 'channel specific'. People like to run a pair of subs and so this is an easier way to do it.

Obviously, the 6th and 7th channels are the 'side effects' channels.

- The .2 outputs can be................... - Kal Rubinson 14:49:21 07/03/12 (0)
  1. the same (i.e., internal Y-connector)
  2. semi-independent (i.e, the same LFE/rerouted bass signal but with independent settings for level, distance and, possibly, EQ)
  3. independent or stereo (i.e., derived separately from the main L/R channels)
  
  Type 1 is most common.
  Type 3 is most rare.
  Type 2 is becoming more common and is, probably, most generally useful.

  the 2 rear (back) channels, 2 front-height channels or 2 front-wide channels. This is in addition to the regular 5 channels: left-front, center, right front, right (side) surround and left (side) surround.

  A nine year old NAD receiver I now use in the bedroom has SUB1 and SUB2 outputs. That just obviated the need for a Y-adapter when using dual subs. :)
Give us a specific example. (NT) - Kal Rubinson 08:00:43 07/03/12 (0)
